Message in a bottle

There are words hidden in all of us

 

 

Waiting for the right moment to be taken out

 

 

Exposed to the open air

 

 

Read out loud for all to hear

 

 

Without shame

 

 

Without prejudice

 

 

Some may feel awkward to speak

 

 

But even more awkward to keep them bottled up

 

 

Thrown to the ocean just to be lost

 

 

Thinking that there is no one that cares to hear them coming out of your mouth

 

 

 

But there is at least one that roams the shoreline searching for those bottles

 

 

Opening what was closed

 

 

Reading what was written

 

 

Looking at the horizon searching out for the one who sent the words

 

 

Checking for the reason of those words

 

 

Trying to give meaning and form for those words

 

 

If not for the one who wrote them

 

 

Then at least for someone else in the same stage

 

 

Who is about to throw away similar words into the ocean

 

 

Only to turn your back to them

 

 

 

I am here to listen

 

 

If you can find the strength to tell them

 

 

To feel my body against yours

 

 

To feel bound by both words and actions

 

 

Your words to my words

 

 

Your actions to my actions

 

 

 

I do not throw my words away

 

 

I give them to you

 

 

So that you can find purpose in them

 

 

So that you can find a purpose for you
